I’m sat here watching a small spider wandering aimlessly across the surface of the wall in front of me… it’s kind of mesmerising. Normally I’d capture it and put it outside but it’s only a small little thing. After seeing some of it’s bigger cousins in Australia it doesn’t seem that much of a deal [...]
Well, the title of this entry says it all really. It’s good to be home.
The weather seems to be improving, and the big thaw underway, so we decided to venture back towards home to see if we could actually get to the house. It has been two months since we were last home after all…
The good news is that the roads are gradually clearing, although the roads around home [...]
The day started pretty much as expected – cold, snowy and grey. The snow through the night hadn’t been too heavy but nevertheless a fresh sprinkling had settled on the ground. Thankfully it hadn’t frozen too hard so we arranged to pick up the cats from the nearby cattery, and to then return home. A [...]
It’s been a long journey home and, finally, we are back in the UK in sunny old Wales. Unfortunately, the weather is really poor so we haven’t been home yet…
Having said our “thanks” and “goodbyes” to John, Meg and Chris, we left Perth, WA, in the early hours of this morning and flew towards Singapore [...]
And so our final day in Australia has arrived. It’s a day of mixed emotions; on the one hand it’s saddening to leave as there is still so much that we could see and do, yet on the other hand we’re looking forward to getting home and seeing family, friends and cats! We’re [...]
Our last Sunday in Western Australia… tomorrow we will be packing up our suitcases and getting ready for the 25 hour journey back to the UK.
John and Meg took us on a short road trip today to a place called New Norcia. It is the only monastic town in Australia and is host to a [...]
And so we find ourselves entering the last weekend of our holiday here in Australia. Given the terrible weather back home in the UK (some of the worst weather in many years with temperatures well below zero degrees C and lots of snow) I must admit I’m not looking forward to returning home.
Yet on the [...]
It was another early-ish morning and we were, once again, off on our travels. However, we weren’t venturing to some previously unvisited and unknown place this time… we were taking another trip to Rottnest Island; to enjoy more of the swimming and snorkelling that the island had to offer. This time we’d only be there [...]
After spending the last 4 days at the beach, today was very much another lazy day. The morning was spent actively engaged in the exciting pursuit of washing clothes… To make the afternoon a little more interesting, we decided to head out and catch another movie and to grab a meal out sometime [...]
So here we are – the morning of Sunday 3rd January, 2010. Lyn and I are off on a short break here.
Report and photos coming soon, including the savage waves and shark dramas!
Lyn and I are going away on another ‘mini-break’ tomorrow so decided that today would be another day to relax and get ready. Besides, I could do with another day relaxation as I am having trouble getting rid of the cold I caught a few days back. Lyn is currently packing a couple of bags [...]
Happy New Year!
I hope that all you readers out there (I’m informed that I now have a readership nudging close to double digits!) had a fabulous New Years Eve, whether partying or otherwise, and that you are enjoying this first day of 2010.
As you are no doubt aware (understatement of the [new] year) [...]
